Malacateco form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Liga Nacional for Malacateco with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

Malacateco might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Comunicaciones proved too strong as Malacateco slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Municipal Santa Lucía. A huge disappointment for Malacateco in their last match (vs Comunicaciones). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.

A 0-4 defeat away at Municipal before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Malacateco are hosting Coban Imperial in the Liga Nacional only four days away.

0 goals so far away for Malacateco, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings with these teams: Iztapa won five, Malacateco were winners in one and we saw four draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, six matches with under 2,5 goals.
